Hécula is an old-vine Monastrell sourced from two sub-zones in Yecla, Las Gruesas & Pozuelo, both in the northern part of the DO. Here the soils are high in lime content and at a higher elevation than the rest of the region, so the Monastrell is dense and rich with balanced acidity and ripe tannins. Hécula is destemmed, fermented in stainless steel tanks with a maceration of 10 days followed by aging in French and American oak barrels.
